meeting Of the improvement Association
Board of Trade and immigration Associa-
ton, to canvass for monthly subscriptions
Of 50 each TO maintain an exhibition of
our resources, in a building to be erected
near the depot, and 20 otherwise aid in i'm
migration work, should receive most cor
dial support and resdy response. If such
subscription list to the number of 100
subscribers can be procured and main
tanned for at least a year, 1t will do a vast
amount of good, and the small monthly
payment of S. for such results viii, it is
believed, be cheerfully made By even a
greater portion OF our business men and
others. Let the list be made $50. This
would yield $1,000 per year, and every
business man and property owner would
ind full compensation in the improvement
in values OF property and business actiyi-
ties in the city.
A BRAVE ACT.-A telegram from Gait
says; A coal-oil lamp exploded in the
residence of G. w. Brewster, on Oak ave-
nue., the other night while he and his wife
were away. In the room where the explo-
sion occurred were their five children, the
oldest sixteen years and the youngest ten
months old. The oldest girl seized the
burning lamp and carried it out doors and
threw it on the ground. The boy next IN
age to the baby took him from the burning
crib and carried him out doors. The next
Oldest girl and Oldest boy extipguished the
fire in the house, which was burning in
several places and then went to the assist
ance of their older sister TO put the fire oui
in the yard. Al this was done without
saying 4 word 10 each other and before the
arrival Of any neighbors. Had they rushed
into the street and given the alarm the
house would have burned aud the baby
with it.
